A lack of respect; YourSay.IN RESPONSE to Keith Porteous Wood Keith Porteous Wood is the Executive Director, formerly General Secretary, of the National Secular Society in the United Kingdom, a position he has held since 1996. (April 15), Archbishop Nichols is not a killjoy kill·joy n. One who spoils the enthusiasm or fun of others. killjoy Noun a person who spoils other people's pleasure Noun 1. . His views on not playing football matches on Easter Sunday are in support of those who do attend church and those who do value the true meaning of Easter. Unfortunatly we live in a money driven world where Premiership clubs like Aston Villa would rather accept televison coverage fees instead of respecting one of the holiest day's of the Christian calender CALENDER. An almanac. Julius Caesar ordained that the Roman year should consist of 365 days, except every fourth year, which should contain 366, the additional day to be reckoned by counting the twenty-fourth day of February (which was the 6th of the calends of March) twice. . You don't see football being played on Christmas Day so Easter Sunday should hold equal importance. The Bank Holiday Monday could easily have been set for this fixture but money talks. To suggest the Archbishop is merely thinking of personal promotion is an insult to him and to those who worship Christianity. How ironic you should criticise a man who has traditional values in favour of a game which is tarnished by greed. Damien Brennan, Kingstanding |
